Redondo and Casanovas

First of all I'm going for the criminally under rated David Pugh. The recurring criticism seems to be "your arts not as good as Glenn Fabry".

Well firstly, who's is? And secondly I really liked his episodes. If anything I preferred his depiction of the Guledig and Elfric. He also did an incredible Slaine warp spasm page with him holding a chariot with blades on the axles.

In second place I'm going Slaine again with Mike Collins. Again I think he is under rated and did a great job on what was positioned as a fill in strip in Spoils of Annwn, which was actually great.

Jesus Redondo and Colin Wilson

It has to be Colin Wilson and Jesus Redondo for me, although I was a bit torn between Redondo and Casanovas; the Max Normal stories and Robo-Tales are so, so good but on balance Redondo wins out.

[Greg M.]

There are three guys here I'd lean towards, and the runner-up is Mike Collins - Spoils of Annwn is my favourite Slaine story. But the actual votes are for Colin Wilson and Jesus Redondo. Wilson's work is clean, technological and new wave - very European for a gent from NZ; Redondo's speaks of power and pain and monstrosity.

[Dark Jimbo]

Yup, Redondo and Wilson for me, too.

[AlexF]

Jesus Redondo all the way, the second place tussle much tougher but I'm going David Pugh, for the exact reasons Magnetica said. His Guledig was the gooeist and most enjoyably evil character design of my youth - even more than Talbot's ecto-Torque!

[Tomwe]

Jesus Redondo & Colin Wilson . Quite the list to choose from today. Kudos to all these other classic droids!

As I recall he did not work on his own he worked with Mark Farmer.

Jesus Redondo, whose work on Nemesis is often overlooked. Return to Armageddon and his many Future Shocks are great too.

David Pugh, who did some great work on Slaine.

Robin Smith and Colin Wilson

It was only reading through the Rogue Nu-Earth trade collections that I realised how much Wilson defined what I think of when I think of Rogue Trooper.

[broodblik]

Colin Wilson was the first artists that took-over from Dave Gibbons on Rogue. The "Ascent to Buzzard-Three" was his first Rogue story.
